The three-month probationary period is over, and so far, your new guy is knocking your socks off. So how do you make the move from casual dating to serious, exclusive dating? Here are some tips guaranteed to make the case to your new man.

1. Make sure that’s what you want.

Don’t move on to exclusive dating unless you’re sure that’s what you want.

2. Look for the signs.

Don’t bother to try and move towards serious dating unless there are signs that’s what he wants, too. Some signs to watch for: if he blows his friends off to spend more time with you, or you and your friends.

3. Ask your friends.

Ask your close friends what they think of your decision. If they hesitate, ask why.

4. Ask his friends.

Hint to his friends that you really like your guy and see what they say. If they don’t seem to have a problem with it, then he has probably told them he feels the same way about you.

5. Drop some hints.

Drop a few subtle hints to your guy and gauge his reaction.

6. Be irresistible to other men.

A little jealousy goes a long way. If your guy thinks another guy might ask you out, he might be more likely to ask you to date exclusively.
